The internet is full of advice that sounds confident and collapses under scrutiny. And expats are constantly forced into high-stakes decisions without a clear map.
Rethink Expats exists to give you a map.
Topics we cover include:
Robert and Janice have spent over a decade building educational platforms for Americans overseas and U.S.-connected families. They blend real-world stories with practical clarity so you can rethink how you manage money abroad.
British-born, U.S.-based dual national. Big-company HR and organizational leadership expert, bringing real-world clarity to expat decisions.
American expat in Europe with 25+ years building financial education and growth operations. Creating practical resources for Americans abroad.
Welcome to Rethink Expats, the show for Americans abroad who want to stop guessing and start making smart, compliant decisions about their money, tax, and life across borders.
What this show will and will not do for Americans abroad.
We set expectations, share why cross-border rules are different from anything you dealt with in the U.S., and explain how to use the podcast, tools, and checklists so you can make better decisions instead of feeling overwhelmed.
You may live abroad, but for U.S. tax purposes you never really “left.
We explain how the U.S. tax system follows citizens and green card holders around the world, what “U.S. person” actually means, and why ignoring that status can get expensive fast.
Many Americans overseas have been burned or confused by advisors, so they avoid getting help altogether.
We unpack the fear, mistrust, and bad past experiences, and show you how to tell the difference between sales talk and real cross-border expertise so you can decide when it’s time to get advice and who to trust.
How to avoid account closures, transfer delays, and brokerage surprises abroad
A practical episode for Americans abroad on how to reduce banking headaches, avoid transfer delays, prepare for account restrictions, and keep money moving with less stress.
Why tax reporting, banking rules, and estate planning changes still matter overseas
A practical episode on how U.S. rules can still affect Americans abroad through reporting requirements, banking restrictions, and estate planning changes, even after they leave the United States.
New laws, elections, and policy changes do not stop at the border.
We explain how changes in Washington can affect your tax bill, investments, and retirement planning even if you haven’t lived in the U.S. for years, and how to stay informed without obsessing over every headline.
We partner with brands and organizations that align with our mission — bringing clarity, integrity, and education to Americans living abroad. If you’d like to collaborate or sponsor an episode, reach out below.
